write your congressman - save a fellow man
I sent this to my congressman, would be nice if more would get involved:
Dear Congressman Smith.
As you may be aware, a man named Abdul Rahman is in danger of execution in Afganistan for converting to Christianity. You have been a champion of human rights around the world and that is why I am asking you to publicly speak up on behalf of Abdul Rahman and put public pressure on President Bush to take action to protect this individual. We have not sent our troops to Afganistan to establish a regime that procecutes Christians. It is our solemn duty, especialy during this season of Lent, to help our fellow Christians in any way we can. You have the ability to raise the awareness of this problem and maybe help save this man. Thank you for your attention in this matter.
Sincerely,
your supporter

What does the Afgan law state? did he break the law? And if so, is this the usual punishment for that offense?
I agree with you that if this is a rail road job for what ever reason, then we should try to help him but in all honesty, if he knew the penalty's of breaking the law than we should step down. This is not our country!

Their constitution says "... freedom of religion ...", their muslim extremeist culture (like all of them do) says kill-kill-kill.

Last Wednesday, when I wrote the original post, the official stance of the white house in this issue was:
"It's a constitutional matter so it's a legal question. So what that tells you is that there are two sides to this." - pres. spokesman McCormack.
By the end of the week, we heard strong statements in support of Abdul Rahman by the Pres. and secretary Rice. What changed? I like to think that sometimes the noise we make collectively on one issue or another does make a difference in the behavior or our politicians.
In the age of e-mail there's no reason as to why we should not voice our opinions to our representatives. If they don't get any feedback from us, the only pressure they get is from paid lobbyists and that results in the breakdown of representative government.
brokenarrow,
you're right - he broke their law; be it as it may, their "law" is propped up by the US and NATO forces stationed in Afganistan and we, who pay to arm, feed and cloth those troops (God bless them) have a say in what goes on anywhere where US has invested blood and treasure.

He didn't break any laws.
He converted 17 years ago in Germany and had been living in Germany the whole time.
Then he back to Afghanistan for a visit and his "loving family" turned him in so the government could kill him.
If he is guilty of anything, it is that he trusted his bloodthirsty blood relations.

DRankin, thanks for the correction. The point is moot anyway. this is an abhorent law derived from an abhorent religion.

I think that this was discussed in a previous post. Back to the muslims does anyone think that they are good hearted people. Their religion states it is good to kill christians. For the most part that is us. Give them the same respect that they are offering to the christians in their country. Change your religion or be eradicated. Then USA will be back to normal and we can disagree between ourselves without the threat of being blown up.

SG8NUC,
I finally hear someone who agrees with me! You hit the nail right on the head: some things mix well (different Christian denominations) and some things are a combustible mixture. That's the muslim problem. They do not want to co-exist, they want to dominate; they are not a good hearted people. Good hearted people don't shoot 10-year old children in the back. I think it would be a good thing to do to terminate the operation of mosques in this country, permanently ban further immigration of muslims into this country and deport all non-citizen muslims out of this country.

Look at ALL the conflicts going on around the world. The root cause (believe in every one right now) are muslims who can not (will not) get along with non-muslims.
This is not a religion. Not by any measure. Its a means of controlling a vast ignorant population by a select (somewhat) educated few. This "religion" islam is by no means a "religion of peace" it is a way of eliminating any who disagree with it's leaders. Convert or die.
